Justine Dubois was wheeled into a courtroom, where a judge set her bail at $750,000 Tuesday morning.

The 24-year-old was in the back of a police cruiser on July 1 when she started convulsing and then appeared unresponsive, authorities said. Officers uncuffed her and put her into an ambulance, where the shots were fired.

Police said while they searched Dubois before she was placed in the cruiser earlier, she somehow pulled a gun on a firefighter in the back of the ambulance.

The firefighter, Brock Borhart, was grazed by a bullet, and Dubois was also struck in the leg from shots fired as a result of a struggle over the gun, police said.

She was released from the hospital and booked into Douglas County Corrections on Sunday.

Dubois had been taken into custody in connection with a car theft before the ambulance incident. Someone reported that Dubois had stolen a vehicle and fled into a store near 48th and L streets. That's where officers arrested and handcuffed her.

Dubois was wanted on an unrelated warrant out of Sarpy County and had been placed on its most wanted list a few days earlier.

She's charged with possession of a firearm, two counts of second-degree assault, three counts of use of a firearm to commit a felony and two counts of terroristic threats.
